In celebration of Battle Chasers: Nightwar releasing on the Nintendo Switch Joe Madureira posted a hilarious sketch of Red Monika showing Link her tri-force tattoo saying "Hey...big fan." Love this sketch! Also Link is in his Breath of the Wild blue tunic! Amazing. Hopefully we'll be seeing more from Joe and Airship Syndicate now that the game has been released on all platforms... Battle Chasers 2 at E3 anyone? One can dream.

Today's the day to get Battle Chasers: Nightwar on the Nintendo Switch! The game is the first release from the team at Airship Syndicate and tells a brand new story featuring the characters from the cult classic comic series Battle Chasers. Explore the island of Harm's Way with Gully, Garrison, Red Monika, Knolan, Calibretto and new to the series, Alumon the demon hunter. The gameplay pulls from classic JRPG/dungeon crawlers and is beautifully rendered in Joe Madureira's unique art style.

The crew over at Gameumentary is fresh off of finishing the Darksiders documentary and have released a trailer for their next project, a documentary on Battle Chasers: Nightwar. If it's anything like the Darksiders doc then expect lots of great behind the scenes insight on the development and design of the game. You'll see creative director Joe Madureira and the whole team at Airship Syndicate discussing the process of bringing their kickstarter idea to life and the hurdles they had to jump along the way.

Looking forward to this! The full documentary will be releasing on May 8th.

And a bonus for Xbox One X owners, the game visuals have been updated to 4K for combat and Dungeons run at a much higher resolution.

Check out these two 4K examples.

Also, those of you that backed the kickstarter campaign should be happy to know that the physical rewards for your pledge are almost ready to ship out. The 'sketchy' tier of Kickstarter backers get one of these amazing Joe Madureira character sketches of your favourite Battle Chasers characters.

For those patiently waiting for the Nintendo Switch release of Battle Chasers: Nightwar (me included) Joe Madureira posted this image of Ryan Stefanelli playing the game on the popular console. The game will be released digitally and in stores on May 15th. If you can't wait that long the game is available now on Xbox One, PS4, PC and Mac.

Gameumentary has released an amazing documentary on the Darksiders video game series. It's a must watch for any fans of the game or just fans of Joe Madureira (since he was the creative director of the series). The documentary starts from the very beginning when the game was just an idea on a napkin right up until the development and release of Darksiders 2.

If this documentary wasn't enough, Gameumentary will be releasing a new one on the development of Battle Chasers: Nightwar in the coming weeks. I'm looking forward to it! Hopefully we'll learn some interesting things about the design and development of the game. Also, maybe we'll finally hear some news about Joe Madureira's progress on continuing the Battle Chasers comic series.
